hello, if you're wondering why the lack of updates, that's cos i'm now on tumblr. I might come back here one day - but till then, eunicetng.tumblr.com is where i post my updates :)

landslide

2011-04-30T03:02:00.004+08:00

there are specific years that makes milestones in person's life. mine's at 28. I'm less than halfway through and already I feel as if i've been stretched far greater than ever before, and I've never felt so old. dreams being put on the line, decisions having had to be made and life's unseen bends that turn into corners that i least expect. life has grown more precious and real. people have grown

wow, 2010

2011-04-30T03:01:00.000+08:00

opps!

questions?

2010-10-31T01:38:00.007+08:00

i realise that the questions we've been asking are all wrong. I realise the finger pointing, leads us nowhere. I realise the who's right and what's right, gets us no answers. ******* just recently, this less than important comment came up about our youths worshipping in the dark (well not really dark, we turn off the white main house lights and use warm the stage lights instead).

compromise

2010-10-12T02:25:00.001+08:00

(Luke 7 , Genesis 3, Romans 12) Been thinking about compromise. And what it means in my life. Was reading from the first chapters of ‘dating delilah’ and it made me think about what happens when we compromise and allow our lives to be a product of our cultural trends. When we compromise and yield ourselves to the cultural trends around us, the ideals of this deteriorating

2010-07-26T01:05:00.003+08:00

The irony of today’s well meaning preachers is that as they try to draw people to God, they end up pushing people away. Understand my dilemma here. Let me also be honest, and vulnerable to criticism. Sometimes it isn’t that I don’t bring non-believing friends to Sunday services. The last time I did, the sermon was on deliverance - with all the jargon and the spiritual hocus pocus. Here was a

waiting in the wings

2010-05-26T00:24:00.015+08:00

inadvertently, i found myself serving in youth. not the place i wanted to be from the start. neither the place i would imagine myself serving in. some say they are called to be in youth ministry, others, a passion; i never can say i felt either way. it's something that has just grown on me.the energy, the potential and awesome young ones with big dreams that God has given them - i must say it

things that smile

2010-04-29T13:45:00.004+08:00

SO, my bro took us for bak chor mee. We reached there, ordered 2 bowls of bak chor mee + 1 bowl of pork chop mee, 1 barley and 1 lime drink. obviously im super excited. food + the AM = unnaturally

daryl and i were talking about having a call that precedes even circumstance & situation. as the time comes to choose the right people into leadership, it struck me that what was of greatest importance to him, was that, above and beyond, the person had to have a sense of God's call of their lives. it started out as a feeling; which then grew into a hopewhich then grew into a quiet thought;which

sha na na, much?

2009-12-05T03:24:00.013+08:00

"Every day I will bless YouAnd I will praise Your name forever and ever."[Psalm 145:2] sha na na is a word that has been doing its rounds. and personally, i've grown a little weary of it and what it implies.because when i think about it, i feel sad because i miss that kind of talk.the kind that talks about God as if.... He's real. not just after an awesome devotion time, not just when prayer

'wooooh'

2009-12-02T01:04:00.008+08:00

i looked at the 2010 calender in iCal and my mind is going wooooh. it was empty a few hours ago, now its filled with colours. the year, kinetics and church activities alone, is PACKED and if this year is anything to go by, its going to be a busier 2010. And that's only 1 aspect - i have yet to fill in what's up in Vibe, at work (by faith), personal meet ups, catchups, even personal+husband time

a new season beckons-indeed, it is one of new beginnings one thing i love about the journey with Jesus;its always forward looking andnever looking back He's doing a new thing:new mannanew winenew oiland most of allthe new covenant. when God does something newits always something good-er only believe.

it's not over yet.

2009-10-31T23:57:00.017+08:00

2009 is said to be the acceptable year of God; where salvation and the free favours of God profusely abound. It's the start of November already; and praise God, I know that He is moving and bringing the victory for me. and the year is NOT over yet. January till September dragggggggged on its heels and when trouble and challenges kept coming at me, I'd think about this year's promise and wonder

2009-08-12T00:18:00.003+08:00

dear Daddy, i trust You. And You said that those who trust in You shall never be put to shame. I trust in Your transformation instead of my actions. If nothing else, I can only trust in You. in Jesus name,amen.

Winter announces its presence with wet weather, strong winds and chilly nights. Night comes much faster than in summer, with the sky darkening by 6am – earlier, if the clouds were first to hide the sun rendering a dull, grayish overcast. I’m surprised by winter’s arrival. Not that I haven’t lived in Australia previously but I guess I wasn’t as prepared. Neither was I prepared for the challenges

sunday savories & sweets

2009-06-14T03:04:00.007+08:00

sundays for daryl and i means having dinner with a few special people @ our humble and rather messy abode. and my sunday menu is oftentimes something e.x.t.r.a special :) so, i just thought it'd be good fun to upload this week's menu: soup of the day - asian minestrone main - roast beef with red wine sides - pumpkin&peas dessert- baked bananas with chocolate&marshmallows *yum*

a walk in the park

2009-06-01T23:25:00.000+08:00

the day was sunny and warm on an early winter day (thank God!) so Daryl and I decided it would be nice just to get out and get some fresh air in the park at evening time. there's always something so lovely about endless evening skies. us watching planes fly by on a park bench makes me somewhat miss home.

the journey,

2009-05-30T23:22:00.006+08:00

is not without challenge heartbreak tears confusion uncertainty frustration but most of all, it's not without Jesus I've got my eyes on the goal where God is beckoning us - onward to Jesus. I'm off and running and not turning back.

2009-05-29T21:36:00.000+08:00

the last day of autumn came around and feeling quite s t r e t c h e d out, we decided to go for breakfast at the left bank - to take some time out together. the day began at 9am and we had brekkie at 10 after running some errands - still by far too early for me. the gorgeous outdoor view of freo the brekkie was really yum - had been craving for hollandaise sauce so it was only naturally

2009-05-29T02:55:00.009+08:00

2009-05-27T01:30:00.010+08:00

says laks, God can't guide a parked car. indeed, true. I thank God for wonderful sisters in the family of God - for wisdom, encouragement, prayers and thoughts that have blessed me so, so abundantly. have i mentioned, i miss all of you? so the conversation continued, wait on him for direction, and step out boldly knowing it is HE who will work in you for his will and good pleasure Ultimately,

daryl always complains that i steal the comforter at night. :(to my defense, the comforter clumps at my end and weighs itself down - naturally leaving daryl with half the comforter every night. so we decided to invest in a good comforter with our Xmas gift of $80 from myers since its having its midseason sales. now we own a Vue 50% goose down & 50% feathers all seasons comforter.pretty cool and

long delayed honeymoon + pictures

2009-04-23T12:20:00.029+08:00

It was in late march when we went for our honeymoon... just the 2 of us, enjoying the countryside. we lived in this cosy villa at Losari for 4 days, and had this random pond as the view from our spa. for food we went around the region tasting.... at olio bello, where everything was soooo good... i wanted a bite of it all (red pesto, dukkah & garlic creaaaam) so i just got everything!! then we

2009-02-17T00:15:00.008+09:00

daryl got down to booking our honeymoon today!!! finally - after almost 3 months after our wedding. we're going to be spending some alone time and get a retreat from the hustle and bustle at Losari Retreat, a rather luxurious retreat villa in margaret river and thank God we got a pretty special deal after identifying we were honeymooners. It's in a month's time but at least that's something

ten ways to say 'i love you'

2009-02-14T11:00:00.004+09:00

so, it's daryl's and my first valentine's as a married couple. to note, we hardly, if ever (and usually never) celebrate valentine's day. but this year (after being insistently persuaded by may) i decided to do something cute just to tell daryl that i love him. so when ellie came over to our place with cute kikilala cards, i bought half of hers over and thought hard on what i could do with

monday date days are precious for daryl & i. sometimes, we just want kick off our shoes and do nothing at home but lately, we've been nagged by our loving friends to get out and go on a date. so last monday, we spent a few hours driving up and down canning highway looking for the famous and yummy miami pie bakehouse. with our pies, picnic mat and a large bottle of heinz tomato sauce, we headed

2009-02-11T01:50:00.005+09:00

Daryl had a long long day - and in a way, I too. Its one of those days where you feel as if you've run aground, all things make no sense and words just fail to describe the way things are. But I know my God never, never fails. [Psalm 46] God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be

sunday

2009-02-01T15:39:00.006+09:00

there are days when I ask my Daddy how much more does it take. He reminds me to position myself, stand still - and see His salvation. because the battle's not mine to fight. I stand, resting in my position and who I am in Christ. i'm not gonna budge cos i'm standing on the cornerstone.

hairstyle 2007-2008

2009-01-30T14:34:00.008+09:00

i call it bride hair - long, long, long (and quite boring). It got too warm and icky for the summer. So I got it cut 3 days ago.

Ooops!

2009-01-25T23:36:00.012+09:00

I found my journal!! it was stashed in my cupboard under all my folded shorts & skirts. **** the most hilarious thing happened today - Daryl and I left our keys in the house and we only realised we were locked out when we reached daryl's aunty's house. ooops indeedy. a little anxious, we called a few people to ask what we could do and when we figured we should just call our home insurance, we

happy.

2009-01-22T23:21:00.045+09:00

its been a long week of late nights and happy is the last thing i should feel. but i'm bubbling as music plays and i jump around the house while mexx looks on at me strangely as he tries to figure out if i'm playing a new kind of game with him. here's that something so wonderfully liberating about worship - all things fade away into the background as you turn your eyes onto Jesus. With so many

:(

2009-01-17T01:09:00.004+09:00

i can't find my journal.that's upsetting because it had some cards from people who mean a whole lot to me.i'm really hoping it will turn up somewhere, somehow.

monday ikea day

2009-01-06T14:01:00.007+09:00

monday is date day. so daryl and i went to ikea for lunch and to look for ideas and furniture to re-do our bedroom and our study area.20 meatball platter whiting, peas & chips we ended up with no furniture but with 2 packets of Daim, 1 Almondy dessert and a bottle of elderflower cordial :)

all in a day of God's goodness

2009-01-04T19:31:00.015+09:00

today we met a rather rude woman in a black car. at freo, daryl and i were following an elderly couple closely in our car so that we could get their parking lot. Despite our car signal, up drives up this black car with an ang-moh woman in it and she looks straight at daryl and i, giving us a face and a hand signal that said unequivocally 'no way, dude, this lot's mine.' i just told daryl, "forget

our new friend

2008-12-27T00:12:00.008+09:00

say hello to mr. purple dyson! he's the new addition to the home - daryl and i are very, very happy with him because the carpets are cleaner, have less of mexx's fur and feel brand new. and i'm happier because now daryl has more incentive to help around with the housework ;P to my defense, i wasn't lazing and I did do the cleaning a few days before.

Christmas isn't Christmas

2008-12-25T19:52:00.010+09:00

it's a quiet Christmas this year. we had a simple Christmas Eve dinner this year owing to the fact we only had 2 days to plan and purchase all our groceries. still, it was yummy. may and charissa made ice cream christmas pudding the dudes at the veggie end of the table - so wrong chef's special of the day: roast beef :) ellis & i tucking into salmon pumpkin pizza tonight, it's just leftovers

celebrating our one month

2008-12-22T23:49:00.010+09:00

daryl and i got married exactly one month ago! And we celebrated it with a day of normalcy. we wanted to do something special (given that we never celebrated any weekly, monthly or yearly anniversary milestone), we figured it was a good time to start. but we ended up cleaning up the house, killing all the bugs with baygon & mortein, mopping the area, stocking the fridge, cooking dinner, then ate

hello, Perth

2008-12-22T00:26:00.006+09:00

it feels weird to be back. i'll get used to it soon enough. first - housework and killing bugs.

leaving.

2008-12-20T03:47:00.005+09:00

starting a new chapter always means leaving things behind and having to move ahead. i'm still stuck at the leaving things behind part. and no, i don't mean the packing.*boo* still, i hate packing. :(
